The Amazing Elafonissi Beach

Elafonissi Beach, The Most Exotic Beach of Crete.

If you come for a holiday in Crete, Elafonissi beach is one of the places that you will definitely hear. Elafonisi is a small island with white sand, which separates it from the mainland by a lagoon with a depth of 1 meter or more. It is 75 km from Chania and you will need about 1.5 hours to get here. It is something between an island and a peninsula, because you will need to walk through the water to go.

You would say that nature did its miracle here! You cannot meet this place and stay indifferent. Its charm, its unreal beauty, the pink shade of the shells and the transparent, aquamarine waters, make Elafonissi beach a top tourist destination. What characterizes Elafonissi and makes it exotic is the small islands with the very fine white sand that roses in several places, the lagoon formed and the turquoise shallow waters. It is also a place of special natural beauty and a Natura protected area. One of the reasons that has been included in Natura Protected Areas is that Caretta-Caretta turtles are born here.

Finally, if you are traveling with your family, be sure your children will love it and you will feel safety for them as long as they are in the sea. The beaches of the area are perfect for everyone! Shallow sea with very fine white sand rising in several places from the dust of crushed shells. In fact, this visit will make you unforgettable!
